ST PATRICKS DAY



"Patrick the sinner, an unlearned man to be sure. None should ever say that it was my ignorance that accomplished any small thing, it was the gift of God." --Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460.



Prior to his death, Saint Patrick returned to Ireland, confronted the Druids, converted Chieftains, and used the three-leaf clover to teach the Trinity. He baptised more than 120,000 and founded more than 300 churches in the name of Christ. (His life and passage is worthy of a higher order of recognition than drinking large amounts of green beer.) A quiet prayer might be better than loud mouthed parade buffoonery.
